New Jillibean Soup Cool As A Cucumber Soup card by designer Patty Folchert

So excited to share the first project I made with the brand new Jillibean Soup “Cool as a Cucumber” collection and two new Hampton Art/Jillibean Soup Stamp & Stencil sets!

Congarts card by Patty Folchert

It is the time of year when we need lots of Graduation cards, so that was the idea behind this card. The new kraft mini envelopes made the perfect gift card or cash holder. The base was cut from Gray Salt paper and covered with a border strip of Chic Kale and a base mat of Trendy Tomatoes. Then I grabbed the White Simple Circles placemat and trimmed out three circles to frame three fussy cut light bulbs from the new Swell Soy paper.

Next I pulled out the fun Butterfly Dictionary Stamp & Stencil set and stamped the text in charcoal ink onto the back side of the Birthday Bisque Bite Size bits paper. I used it as a backer behind the placemat circles and then added the fussy cut light bulbs with foam dots.

Finally I trimmed out a piece of the stamped text paper for my sentiment arrow and stamped in charcoal ink the “congrats” sentiment from the new Stamp and Stencil/Sentiments set. I mounted it onto a piece of the Swell Soy paper and adhered it with double foam dots. Last I added three new Enamel Stars in yellow for a touch of bling.

That was it, a fun versatile Congratulations card with a color palette that would work for a boy or a girl.
